{screwcap, 14.2%} Still youthfully ruby coloured. Spicy nose, but with plenty of blackberry fruit too. White pepper, and minimal oak. Palate is light in flavour, if a bit warm, with diffuse cherry-like fruit, faint blackberries, but not rich or jammy. Never unripe though. Even a bit hard, in fact. Medium weight, no more, but with prosaic sort of medium length finish. Probably needs a long decant, or a lot longer in the cellar to show its best I suspect. Overall, too young.
